All About Pocket Knives

Me? What about ~Q~? He's the one that had to put an addition on his house just to store all his 07's.

Now that you have one, you're going to want more. It's a good thing there are plenty of them out there. I dread the day when Greg takes a liking to them.

Sir are you insinuating that I might be a little hoggish when I take a liking to a pattern. If so I resemble that statement.

TFL--the trick to opening those mailers is quite simple: slice along the end where the flap folds over to make the seal...there's none of that recycled paper material in that area so it will not make a mess...also, it allows you to re-use the mailer for shipping by re-sealing the cut-opened end with a piece of duct tape.

jerryd--the addition I had to add to my home in order to accommodate my 07 collection has had an unintended consequence. Now that I have all this extra space, I've fallen off the 07 wagon and returned to accumulating even more Mini Trappers with reckless abandon. I fear my wife is on the verge of issuing an ultimatum and I'll be forced to choose between my truly beloved...or her!

Q: I'm more of a 200 lb gorilla when I get a package - I tend to jam the knife in and rip in a random direction like a barbarian invader finding a tent full of the old King's daughters...

I understand the compulsion, in fact, I used to open packages the same way. But after inadvertently carving a gouge in a pristine MOP Koji Hara, I decided there had to be a better way. Now I open packages with the scalpel-like precision of a brain surgeon.

OUCH, that sucks Q!


I just got this one in. It has an SAK feel to it. Seems well built, even has a removable/reversible pocket clip.

That was certainly true of the #72. I now have 3...

I am so, so happy I accumulated most of my collection of 72's and clones before this bunch of greedy guts started snatching them up.



I'm a bit more particular when I open packages because except for the Priority Boxes, I reuse most of what I get. I use the tools shown below (in order of preference from top to bottom) to open the box or envelope and when I need packaging, I use a hairdryer to loosen the label/tape adhesive and just peel it off. With the padded envelopes I staple the open end back together and use packing tape to cover the staples and seal the envelope. Works great. That's just the way I do it. Your mileage may vary.

New kershaw flipper,
Thanks Dale.

Landers Frary & Clark, 4 7/16 inches English jack

That one is a looker Cal. Slender, nice handles, a really great looking knife.

Jerry, the 200 lb gorilla has an opinion on your package opening methodology...

Good acquisition Ken. I like the looks of the Skyline but I wish it had Speedsafe®. I'm a Speedsafe® addict.

My opinion of his opinion.

That's a great looking knife!

My first Maher & Grosh arrived. "Custer's Favorite Hunting Knife." 5" closed with a blade of 4 1/8. Well done. Then came the 125th Case Anniversary knife in olive green bone, which I find appealing.

WOW Garry... SCORE!!! They are FINE lookers!!! John

You're loading up! Those are both great looking knives.

Thank you guys. Glad you like them.

The mailman brought these items today.

Wow Greg - did you buy that entire collection under glass in one go? All 3 pictures are awesome buys!

Oh no TFL . I just bought the display case and filled it up with some of my Empires when I got it.

Greg, I love that display case. Very classy. I wouldn't mind having a few more. I have English Jacks in mine. I guess I could stuff some Mini-Trappers in one.

Jerryd I got that one From S&D in Ohio. It doesn't come with any way to hang it on the wall. $66 shipped though so it's reasonable. I need about 5 more and I will gain a little shelf space I think.
